After adding Baker Mayfield as quarterback, the betting odds for the Panthers have increased.
The Panthers' odds of winning the NFC South have increased from +1200 to +1000 via PointsBet. Their chances of winning the Super Bowl have also increased from +12500 up to +1000
However, Carolina's chances of winning the NFC have not changed. They are still at +5000
Mayfield is definitely an upgrade to Sam Darnold. Now comes the challenge of getting Mayfield ready for action, beginning with Week One visits from Mayfield's former club, the Browns.
The NFC is generally open to all, with only a few elite teams and basically everyone else. If Mayfield is healthy, his presence could make a significant difference. It would be a great help if Christian McCaffrey, the running back, is also healthy.
